I am a Canadian citizen in California on a TN visa. I have been working on a project that I would like to post as a website and monetize, but has no relation to my TN visa, of course. Is this possible to do without having a green card?

Not OP / GP; from what I understand, this isn't an API generated by ML, it's a cache manager. "Computing correct responses to requests" refers to deciding whether or not it should read it from some caching layer and

It's absolutely mind-boggling that they are allowed to sell phone location data in the first place without any real consent from their customers. That's why it must really say something about these companies - Verizon especially -

How on earth am I the one who needs to "[s]how some initiative" when some guy literally just says "JS is a flaming pile of trash" and gives no justification? It was an ad hominem and I asked him to expound on it.

Hopefully I can explain your downvotes a bit. The JavaScript ecosystem is in an entirely different place now. ES6 has made it feasible to write cleaner, more concise code, and Webpack has allowed library consumers to "naively" imp

I am amused by a lot of the hyperbole used against JS, as if it somehow is hard to use or drastically restricts the problems you can solve. At this point, I'm not even sure if a single comment in this thread that poses itself as obviou

But how could they "be a LOT better"? I see this being said, but from what I've seen async handling is generally not very graceful; with that said, Promises are a very simple but powerful API that seem to handle the problem f

Yeah, exactly. Say you have an API request that is persisting a chunk of data to the database, like a few dependent data items. This way, you write the API request to just be a simple function invocation of the class you instantiated: (

I'm not sure what you're getting at, can you expand? I work a lot with databases, so say you're trying to write an object and its children in some sort of one-to-many relationship to the DB. You can write a Promise chain like

I am surprised to see so much venom against Promises expressed here. I am young, but I began coding (as a profession) just when Angular 1 was popular and I remember callback hell was a real thing. A few years later, I use Promises a lot, an

You can also ignore React's built-in 'state' object and just store stuff directly in variables using MobX, which will force update components for you. That said, it is best used as you describe it: a store that holds all the
